Barbra Streisand can’t be funny at 7:30 a.m. The star told a British magazine that she did not like getting to the set of “Meet the Fockers” at that hour and told the film’s producers to pick a later time.

“It’s hard to be funny at 7:30 in the morning,” she said. “So I said ‘You can’t pick me up until 8:30 ‘cause that’s a normal time to get up, for me.’ I don’t function that well at 6 a.m.”

As the world continues to react to Rihanna’s online activity, at least we know one person is getting through to her about questionable material. The singer said her mom was furious over two naked photos of Rihanna taken by her friend for a book project. She told Britain’s Elle magazine, “I’m not afraid of any person in this world but my mother; I’m terrified of her! She called me two days ago and reeled me in about two naked pictures Melissa (Forde) put up on Instagram…She went crazy on me; I was like embarrassed. I felt like I got my (expletive) whipped in front of my class at school! She humbled the (expletive) out of me.” Rihanna does have a way with words, doesn’t she? less

Justin Bieber had the “worst birthday ever” on Friday, according to his own Twitter feed. The pop star, who just turned 19, left the Cirque du Soir nightclub in London after just a few minutes of arriving, and reports suggested he was have been kicked out. Bieber disputed that on Sunday, posting on Instagram, “I love how the club wanted to give the press another reason to why we didn’t stay at their weak-ass club, so they wouldn’t look bad for me walking in and right back out.”
A spokesman for the club, however, told The Guardian that Bieber and his entourage left because some members of the group were too young to enter. “We are very sorry, and understand it’s (Bieber’s) birthday, but our hands are tied,” the spokesman said.
The paparazzi reportedly followed the party to a nearby McDonald’s before Bieber and his friends headed back to his hotel. less

Abigail Breslin scared the bejeezus out of a teenage girl when she accidentally called her during a cellphone scene from her new movie, “The Call.” Breslin plays an abducted teen and was filming a scene in which she calls frantically for help from the trunk of a car. The film’s producers, however, failed to realize they had given Breslin an active cell phone that called a real teenage girl, who had to be comforted after the scene was over.
Breslin also sparked concern about gym-goers when she went for a workout directly after filming, without taking off the fake blood and bruises all over her back. She said one woman approached her to ask if she needed help.
Two things we will remember to keep an eye out for once we get a big Hollywood break. less

Alec Baldwin’s wife, Hilaria, is already talking smack about his parenting skills, and the baby hasn’t even arrived yet. “At this point before the baby is born, he thinks he’s going to be Mr. Mom. We’ll see at three o’clock in the morning, when the baby is screaming and we need to change the diaper,” she said. less

Mark Wahlberg ditched Diddy, his Golden Globes ‘date,’ because he can’t hang with a night full of parties. “At seven o’clock…I said, ‘I’ve gotta go to the bathroom,’ and I just jumped in my car and went home…I knew he would end up dragging me from party to party.” Sounds like the worst Golden Globes ‘date’ ever. less

One Direction’s Harry Styles does not seem too lonely without Taylor Swift. He’s already got someone to replace her – a creepy dead animal preserved by taxidermist Polly Morgan, who sometimes uses roadkill for her artwork. Styles also decorated his home with a skull perched on a Bible and a statue of Jesus Christ wearing boxing gloves. So. That will not help him snag dates in the future. Oh, wait. He’s in One Direction. Never mind. less

Does anyone else find it hilarious that Lindsay Lohan’s new mentor could be Charlie Sheen? Their respective issues are not funny in any way, but a Sheen-Lohan combo lays the groundwork for some truly awesome SNL skits.
Sheen has recently loaned Lohan money and said she would could benefit from hanging out with him. He told TMZ.com, "I have a kinship with somebody who clearly needs a mentor, whether she wants one or not. She can continue to hang out with her dress-shredding club buddies, or turn to me for some advice... a guy who's been down the road as well as every other side trail on the journey." He adds, "If she listens, she'll win. If she doesn't, that's on her." less

“Modern Family” stars Julie Bowen, Eric Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson managed to find a comic spin on Friday when they were trapped in an elevator for an hour with about a dozen people in a hotel in Kansas City. The stars tweeted photos and video of everyone in the elevator shouting “Get us out!” Stonestreet commented after the ordeal: "I honestly handled being stuck in an elevator better than I thought. All Jesse Tyler did was pass wind."
Honestly, if we are ever going to be trapped in an elevator, we sincerely hope it’s with Julie Bowen, Eric Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson. less

Morrissey failed to turn Los Angeles’ Staples Center into a vegetarian venue during his Friday night concert – the center continued to sell meat products despite the singer’s assurance that hamburgers and hot dogs would not be sold. The center did make the backstage area 100 percent vegetarian, however. And, fans at a high school concert in Hollywood on Saturday were treated to a lovely video of cows and chickens being slaughtered and an explanation of how caught fish die. They got what they paid for, we suppose. less

The Who’s Pete Townshend gets the Jerk of the Year award after mouthing obscenities at the father of a 7-year-old girl, who was holding up a sign asking Townshend to smash his guitar at a concert in Ontario. Little Jenny Costello and her dad left the show early after Townshend singled them out from the crowd, saying “Go away with that sign please, just go away with it, just go away with it. Don’t bring your children…I want to tell you two words but I can’t because you’ve got a child there.” Nice of him to protect the child by mouthing the expletive instead.
Townshend later sent a letter to the family to apologize and now plans to meet the little girl in April. "I thought your placard was fun (but) I had a job to do (to announce our musicians) and I didn't want to lengthen the show by trying to deal with you directly and in detail. I was also worried that your daughter looked a little frightened as the crowd started to follow you down the aisle. The ushers should not have let you leave your seats and walk forward. All that said, you did nothing wrong." less

Diddy, who just came out as a former bed-wetter, has come up with a solution and is sharing it with the children of the world: Drink water. Yes. The solution to bed wetting is drinking water.
"I went on this quest to stop wetting the bed, and the first day that I had a sleepover and I didn't wet the bed, it was, like, one of the greatest days of my life. It gave me the swagger that I have today, because I stopped wetting the bed."
Diddy is convinced that drinking sugary Kool-aid is what made him wet the bed. “There is something about sugar that makes you wet the bed. So, to all you boys and girls out there…I’m telling you to drink water, OK? It will stop you from wetting the bed, and you won’t be embarrassed in front of the girls at sleepovers.”
Ok. First of all, no, Diddy, it’s not the sugar. It’s the water in the sugar. Also, at what age do the male children normally start having sleepovers with girls? less

In case you were wondering if that’s really David Beckham’s butt in that H&M underwear commercial, it is. “I can say the crotch is mine and the backside is mine as well,” the soccer star said during an interview in France. Quite frankly, we’re insulted that anyone would accuse David Beckham of using a butt double. less

There’s always one celebrity who makes this list twice, and this week it’s Harry Styles, who was hit in the groin with a fan’s shoe during a One Direction concert last week in Glasgow, Scotland. The group paused the show to take questions from fans, and one fan’s question was apparently “How well can Harry Styles take a shoe to the groin?” And the answer is – not well, because Styles fell to the floor and had to regain his composure before continuing. The girl, Jade Anderson, later apologized for the incident, telling a Scottish newspaper “I just wanted him to touch something belonging to me.” And now we’re creeped out. less

So, Taylor Swift has conversations with her cat, and she makes videos of those conversations on her phone and sends them to her friend, rising pop star Ed Sheerhan. We’re not too surprised by this, are we? It’s all fun and games until Ed Sheerhan loses his phone at the Brit Awards. “Someone’s gonna get videos of me having a conversation with my cat that I sent Ed…and like YouTube videos and stuff like that,” Swift said on the radio after the phone went missing. Fortunately, Ed found the phone, so we’ve all been spared from actually viewing this cat conversation. Imagining it is good enough for us. less

Ke$ha says she and her mom write raunchy songs about boys and sex together. “That may not be normal to the average psychiatrist out there but I think it’s pretty cool.” That’s ok, Ke$ha. We don’t think your life should be constricted by the musings of some silly psychiatrist. Anyway, someday (we really, really hope) your mom will be the only person listening to these songs, so it’s only fair that she should have a hand in writing them. less

Every week, there’s some celebrity out there complaining about being famous, and this week it’s Annie Lennox. So, so sorry for making you famous, Annie.
She wrote in a lengthy Facebook rant last week: "Today's blog is going to be about the phenomena of celebrity. Trust me... everything changed in the early 90s... So many things changed at that point. The whole music industry turned into a completely different ball game. (I still can't quite get my head around it...)
"It's all about collusion... The collusion of music industry and fashion labels.The corporate sponsorship deals with brands... The perfume deals... The soap powder deals... The reality shows, the horrible talent shows with their stupid row of judges... Everybody's part of the feeding frenzy... Now we've got pop moguls and tycoons... kings, queens, prince... our necks ache with the discomfort of gazing up towards their Truman Show pedestals."
Lennox also insists she can't understand why anyone would want to be famous these days, adding, "I don't know what it must feel like to be followed every day from airport to car to hotel to home to restaurant to high street... Well... I've had a taste of it, and I truly hate it... There's no money worth losing your freedom or privacy for.” less

Keith Richards’ drug-related antics don’t really surprise anyone anymore. But they still make us laugh a little bit, even if they shouldn’t. This week, Ronnie Wood’s ex-wife shares the tale of how Richards ruined a night out with her elderly mother by having a large bag of cocaine instead of dessert. Then, he continued to impress by offering the elderly woman marijuana by the pool a few days later.
Jo writes in her memoir: “Keith handed the joint to mum, who took it between her thumb and forefinger and flung it in the pool. He just sat back and proceeded to roll two more joints. ‘Here you go Rachel,’ he said. ‘Here’s one for me to smoke and one for you to throw in the pool.’” less

Hollywood is letting Richard Gere down. The star said on British television that he’d be working more if the movie industry could produce more quality films. “(I get many scripts but) not good ones, no. I would work more if there were better scripts, to be honest.” We agree. Scripts are letting us down, too. Can we get some sort of Hollywood film support group going?
Gere also prefers that all of his films be shot within an hour of his house, which probably doesn’t leave many options for scenery. But kudos to Gere for letting his son help decide whether Dad should take a job or not. “He says, ‘No Dad, we’ve got baseball, we’ve got this. I kind of need you around now’…that’s more important to me.” less
